i don't get to see many good things about president obama in south carolina. but i think he is serious. i think he's full and takes the responsibility when it comes to targeting people in a commander-in-chief type way. general cartwright, when you ordered into battle by your commander-in-chief, do you obey your orders? >> i do. we are going to give the commander-in-chief the ability to order citizens into battle, but they don't get to go to court. i think that is a decision. i want a judge to say you shouldn't know. there is nothing more basic to being commander-in-chief and being able to order people into battle and suppress the enemies of this nation. if you want to talk about transparency, count me in. if you're a congress more in how the system works, if you're contemplating converting the power and the commander-in-chief with unelected judges did make wartime decisions, count me out. that would be a breathtaking overstepping and quite frankly unfair because of the situation they say we don't think you're quite rare. the problem usher in person one would b

president obama says this. some members of my party say the battle has no geographic limitations, and the laws of war apply. it's important to know that the law of war that they're talking about means no due process. boyleston street sure looked -- "i quote from the" wall street journal "editorial." boyleston street sure looked like a battlefield on monday and so did watertown on thursday night. the artificial distinction arises from undue focus on geography. the vital distinction for public safety is between common criminals who deserve due process protections and enemy combatants at war with the united states wherever they are. as for due process, the greatest danger to liberty would be to allow more such attacks that would inspire an even greater public backlash against muslims or free speech or worse. the antiterror types on the left and g.o.p. senators who agree that the u.s. isn't part of the battlefield are making the united states more vulnerable. americans erupted in understandable relief and gratitude
